"Yo, isn't this my grandpa and uncle? I haven't seen you for a long time. You are here to visit me, aren't you? After all, my grandpa has no such good intention."
Emily said sarcastically, staring at Michael's pale face.
Since entering the room, Charlie had been in a submissive state. Emily had already known a little about her uncle. He was not a bad guy, but had no judgment. He had always been led by Michael.
But she didn't look down upon him. Everyone had his own way of life. He was merely a timid man who didn't kill people or get involved in a fight. It didn't have a big problem. It's okay as if he would never do evil with Michael. What's more, Charlie had supported Emily before.
"How did you treat your grandpa? I'm your grandpa." Said Michael while beating his crutch with his hand.
"You know what? The biggest joke I've ever heard in the world! Grandpa, do you know who I am? Seven years ago when I was involved in the rumor, I lost my grandpa. When I was suffering from the pain I was living in another country, I lost my grandpa. I was losing everything that belonged to me, and I was driven out of the Xia clan. I lost everything including the grandpa. I just became the president's wife of the World International. Then why is there is a grandpa for me? "
Every word said by Emily was echoing in Michael's heart. Standing behind her, Charlie felt sad. When he heard that, he couldn't help but think, 'This is my nephew. What we did to her years ago! I couldn't believe that.'.
"I was blinded by the past and didn't see the reality clearly. Now I give you a chance to go back to the Xia clan." Charlie said, still shamelessly.
"Oh, I see. Tell me about it."
Emily was fiddling with her fingernails, gently brushing them. Anyone who knew her would know that she was in a bad mood, but Michael apparently didn't. hearing that, he still felt a little proud.
"The Xia clan is in danger. You can ask the World International to do us a favor and then I will let you go back to the Xia clan." As a matter of fact, Mike laughed coldly when he heard what Michael said. In contrast, Vincent smiled gently and elegantly, but it was a pity that there was no temperature in his smile.
"Oh, that's all. I don't know how difficult it is. But do you think I am so forget the past easily, my grandpa and the president of Xia Company?" The instant change in Emily's facial expression made Michael have a bad feeling.
"I have told you that I am cheated by Star. It is just a shadow formed by her. I have already asked someone to call her over. If you have any anger, you can go up to her directly."
Michael quickly waved to the people outside, and someone sent Star in. Her hands were already tied behind her back, and her face was pale. It was only a few months away from the original auction. Only a few months later, the happiness and sweetness that was overflowing in this woman's face had already disappeared, leaving only empty and pale.
Of course, Emily didn't deny what she had done, but mostly because the woman in front of her had completely changed her mind.
"Father, what are you doing? How can you kidnap Star?" It was rare for Charlie to talk so loud and quickly go to the side of Star, and loosen up the ropes on her.
"What did this bastard do to me? She lied to me by sweet words. I brought her here to atone for her sins. It's all her fault. I knew she was born to be a bitch."
"Father..." Charlie's sudden raised voice surprised Michael.
"So what? You want to rebel?" Michael hit the ground hard with his walking stick, making a crisp sound, as if he wanted to smash the ground. For the first time, Charlie turned a deaf ear to Michael's anger. He just looked at Star's red and swollen wrist which was tied just now and comforted her.
"Does it hurt?"
Charlie saw Star's pale lips trembling up and down, but she didn't say anything. He could only sigh helplessly.
The people around really disliked Michael. They were so afraid that the air would be dirty so they just wanted to kick him out. They wondered what kind of elder could have such a power to waste the family's affection. It was such a waste of air for him to live in this world.
Emily didn't want to waste time with him anymore. Every word he had said to her would disgust her.
"There are two choices. One, hand over the Xia Company, and I will give you a lot of money to support your retirement. The other, keep the Xia Company running well. The Xia clan will go broke three days later, you make a choice."
Emily's cold words sounded undoubted. Struck his walking stick again, Michael said, "Bastard, Xia Company is the fruit of your father's painstaking efforts, do you have the heart to watch it go bankrupt?"
"Ha ha, you know that my father put all his heart and soul in it. You have been monopolizing it for so long. Is it time for you to hand it out? It seems that you have chosen the first one."
"No way." Without the Xia Company, Michael would have nothing, and everyone was clear about that.
"Our second choice is, Mr. Michael, you can go back to wait for the Xia Company's bankruptcy. It's easy for the World International to overthrow a company in this city, especially an inferior company. At that time, I promise you, Mr. Michael, you will not have any money and you will pay your debt for what you can't repay all your life."
